krilves 's review for:
Could It Be Magic?
by Melanie Rose
DID NOT FINISH: 50%
I somehow managed to slog halfway through this book before I put it down. It was just so fucking *boring*. I quit it when I realised my reaction to having to read it on my commute was “ugh”.
The problems I was having with this were:
- the prose was bland and uninspiring
- Jessica didn’t seem to have much emotional turmoil about her situation and was very quick to just jump into a mother role and start parenting those kids
- the thing with her boss and that scene in the kitchen. Just. Why. Was that even necessary?
- everything about the packaging of this book told me it was a romance with a HEA but the strong implication that Lauren was dead and Jessica was essentially puppeting her meatsuit wasn’t inspiring any confidence in me for a HEA. She can’t keep living a double life and clearly she’s going to find a way to undo the weird body hopping, which is going to devastate an entire family, so… eh?
- the concept is great! The execution is so dull! It’s so boringly written that I find myself not caring about ANY of it, even though I loved the concept! Gah!
